Christine Gets Her Degree
Sep 3rd, 2010 by Tennessee Walker
It is reported today that Christine O’Donnell was awarded her College Degree in English Literature from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Evidently, O’Donnell had not completed her course requirements 17 years ago because her completion of a General Elective Course over the summer gave her the work necessary to complete her requirements.
From the Politico Article reporting this:
Citing privacy reasons, Giglio could not explain the reasoning behind the timing, but O’Donnell’s campaign manager said Friday the candidate met a final course requirement this summer.
“She’s gone through the process to receive her degree, that’s not the story. She fulfilled the last course requirement this summer. It was just a general elective course,” said O’Donnell campaign manager Matt Moran.
But that contradicts previous explanations O’Donnell has given about her education history.
Her 2006 Senate campaign website described her as a “graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University.” In March of this year, she told the Delaware News Journal that FDU was withholding her diploma because she had not yet paid off her student loans. “I finished the coursework,” O’Donnell told the newspaper.”

Dear tbagz,
Why oh why did you have to pick such an out and out loser? She might not even make it to primary day at this point.
If anyone could make receiving a degree a negative thing, you certainly can TW. Get a life bro.
This story has nothing to do with her receiving her degree and everything to do with, yet again, two contradictory stories.
Use your brain, bro.
I guess the course fee will be listed as an expenditure if/when she does her FEC filing?
Booh ya! That just happened!

I know who the best candidate is by discussing the issues not the degree. My issue with TW is that he represents himself as a conservative republican and it’s all false. I know David backs him up but TW’s words contradict what he supposedly represents. He’s, to put in better words, is full of crap and needs to be exposed. If he backs Castle only because he believes that Castle has the only chance of winning, then he is a coward.
If he backs Castle because he think his politics line up with his, I can understand that.
All I ask of TW is, if you are a conservative republican, then back a conservative republican. Don’t say one thing and do another
Windjammer, I’m praying for you.
What if he backs Castle because O’Donnell has been exposed as a fraud and a liar? Can he get his conservative membership card back then?
Your problem, WJ, lies in your definition of a conservative Republican. A sort of my way, or the highway conservatism.
And what, pray tell, does TW need to be “exposed” for? Besides disagreeing with you. Perhaps TW is a pragmatic conservative.
I’m not a Castle supporter, but he is the political savvy choice. Haven’t you ever wondered why the Dems are overjoyed at the thought of running against O’Donnell?

I appreciate that, I’ll never turn down and honest prayer. But I didn’t get sense that it was an honest prayer, so could you just desist from the prayer for now.
I am looking at the docs filed in Christine O’Donnell vs. ISI in 2005 that I received from the Federal District Court where COD files for sexual discrination. In her complaint she states that ISI promised her time to pursue her Master’s Degree at Princeton. How do you get into the Master’s program at Princeton when you had ‘t received your Bachelor’s Degree? Clearly she lied to her employer ISI.

Oh, and all the lies that she told her employer at ISI, priceless!
the jammer has been pwned on his own site! How’s that taste? You’ll have another mouthful on the 15th.
Oh, sincerely, can you guys stop praying for a political win or death to liberals or a chance meeting with a hottie and start praying for economic recovery? I mean, if I ran the casino in the sky, I’d place my odds on jobs. So when everything actually does turn around, you get credit! Win Win, seats close to the hand and all
In the name of O’Donnell’s degree:

From An Essay on Criticism
“‘Tis hard to say, if greater Want of Skill
Appear in Writing or in Judging ill,
But, of the two, less dang’rous is th’ Offence,
To tire our Patience, than mis-lead our Sense:
Some few in that, but Numbers err in this,
Ten Censure wrong for one who Writes amiss;
A Fool might once himself alone expose,
Now One in Verse makes many more in Prose.
‘Tis with our Judgments as our Watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
In Poets as true Genius is but rare,
True Taste as seldom is the Critick’s Share;
Both must alike from Heav’n derive their Light,
These born to Judge, as well as those to Write.
Let such teach others who themselves excell,
And censure freely who have written well.
Authors are partial to their Wit, ’tis true,
But are not Criticks to their Judgment too?
Yet if we look more closely, we shall find
Most have the Seeds of Judgment in their Mind;
Nature affords at least a glimm’ring Light;
The Lines, tho’ touch’d but faintly, are drawn right.
But as the slightest Sketch, if justly trac’d,
Is by ill Colouring but the more disgrac’d,
So by false Learning is good Sense defac’d.
Some are bewilder’d in the Maze of Schools,
And some made Coxcombs Nature meant but Fools.
In search of Wit these lose their common Sense,
And then turn Criticks in their own Defence.
Each burns alike, who can, or cannot write,
Or with a Rival’s or an Eunuch’s spite.
All Fools have still an Itching to deride,
And fain wou’d be upon the Laughing Side;
If Maevius Scribble in Apollo’s spight,
There are, who judge still worse than he can write
Some have at first for Wits, then Poets past,
Turn’d Criticks next, and prov’d plain Fools at last;
Some neither can for Wits nor Criticks pass,
As heavy Mules are neither Horse or Ass.
Those half-learn’d Witlings, num’rous in our Isle,
As half-form’d Insects on the Banks of Nile:
Unfinish’d Things, one knows now what to call,
Their Generation’s so equivocal:
To tell ‘em, wou’d a hundred Tongues require,
Or one vain Wit’s, that might a hundred tire.
Such shameless Bards we have; and yet ’tis true,
There are as mad, abandon’d Criticks too.
The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read,
With Loads of Learned Lumber in his Head,
With his own Tongue still edifies his Ears,
And always List’ning to Himself appears.
All Books he reads, and all he reads assails,
From Dryden’s Fables down to Durfey’s Tales.
With him, most Authors steal their Works, or buy;
Garth did not write his own Dispensary.
Name a new Play, and he’s the Poet’s Friend,
Nay show’d his Faults–but when wou’d Poets mend?
No Place so Sacred from such Fops is barr’d,
Nor is Paul’s Church more safe than Paul’s Church-yard:
Nay, fly to Altars; there they’ll talk you dead;
For Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.”
It’s all Castle’s fault. Tom Ross wouldn’t give me the money. Priscilla Rakestraw wouldn’t let me….
Waaaaaa….Waaaaaa…Waaaaaa
